Happy New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year, that is. Unfortunately, it's been much like any other Monday in Paris, and it has been years since I have had the fortune of properly celebrating the lunar new year back in Taiwan. Consequently I don't have any related pictures, though I felt compelled to upload the one above, taken last summer on one of many late afternoon bike rides in Neihu. Fortunately, those of us in the northern hemisphere can all be well assured of warmer and brighter days come springtime, whatever else the year will bring. Best wishes for the new year!
